Reporting research data using the UQ Reportal

The University of Queensland Reportal is maintained by the Office of Planning and Business Intelligence and has been developed to provide UQ staff with easy access to a wide range of data without the need for intervention by IT staff.

UQ Research Performance data is made available to the University research community via the Reportal. The data available includes publications, research grants, research income, Research Higher Degree Student Load and Completions, ERA, and Staff Research Load data.

Drop in sessions

During the second half of 2018, the Research Performance team will be looking at ways to improve the accessibility and usability of UQ's research performance data, which includes being more connected to facilitating / understanding the training requirements for professional staff who are actively supporting research at UQ.

If you would like to schedule up to an hour with the Research Performance team, please follow the link below and fill in some basic information. This could include a general chat to orientate you on what research performance data is currently available, to answer specific questions you have about the research data universes or reports, to arrange a tailored training session for you/your team, or for you to provide us with feedback on how you use the currently available data/reports and how you would like to see these improved.
